It rise privacy concern for me. If real name and email validation is mandatory, I will wonder what Google will use that data for. Is that some kind of monitor tool which want to know REAL NAME, EMAIL ADDR whenever you want to use a website? Don't forget Google always beg for your telephone number for "security reasons", Google+ wants your real name for "Policy reason", I upgraded one of my Nexus to Android L, and eve…
I'm still more impressed by sites like http://www.funcaptcha.co/try-it/ Why have they not caught on?

Well if you ever run for political office it's going to save them a boatload on campaign contributions.
Eh, you never know. Attitudes toward certain improprieties have moderated in recent years...
There is always a center, just because it moves doesn't mean that people can't be a socially unacceptable distance from it.
And what about people with motor-neural conditions?
It's definitely not only relying on cursor movements. A simple $('iframe').contents().find('.recaptcha-checkbox-checkmark').click() proved that I'm not a robot, without me touching the mouse.
Are you logged into Google? If you have their cookies it's one indication you're not a robot.

Exactly what I was thinking. Even if Google got smart enough to detect that the distorted path speed was too mechanical, you could record 100's of macros of yourself moving the mouse towards a target. When it's time to submit a captcha, select one of the macros at random and play it back with some slight randomness added. Voilà!
Mouse movement is not the only factor Google is using.
I noticed this a while ago when the Humble Bundle switched. I was able to break it with PhantomJS.
The old recaptcha takes good sites and gives them terrible user experience. I tried to order tickets one time on ticketmaster and actually gave up because I couldn't get past the captcha. I hate current captchas with a passion and I hope they finally die. I understand fighting spam but when it completely ruins a user experience it's not worth it. edit: Bury me with no explanation why? Please don't tell me you think t…
I agree that the reCAPTCHA experience is terrible and assume many others agree with you, in part spurring the development of this new approach. I don't believe that every reCAPTCHA has a solution, or at least a consistent one, so I always feel like a percentage of time wasting is built-in. To work around it, I usually regenerate it until I get one that looks easy, but it's still frustrating. Improving the odds of getting it right the first time will help improve the experience a bit. But my biggest gripe is that they can make direct downloads impossible for resources that don't require extra protection.
